Update: I was unfortunately not aware of Shamus Young's severe criticism of Fallout 3 available here to link in the original piece and I regret that. It dovetails rather nicely with what I've written and it's much better executed than my piece. I strongly recommend anyone...

Dragon's Lair Moving Into XBLA With Kinect

I remember when Dragon's Lair hit the arcades in the 80s. Every time I went to Chuck E. Cheese, I would hover by the Dragon's Lair arcade game to watch people play (and lose lots of quarters). The game was so ahead of its time visually, and in many aspects, there hasn't been a game like it since. Dragon's Lair has been revived on iOS and DSiWare, and now it will be heading to the Xbox Live Arcade.

However, Dragon's Lair will come with Kinect luggage. Using Kinect will not be required, but there is that option in case you would rather physically push Dirk along instead of using a controller. It's a good thing I don't have a Kinect, because I could see me getting overly angry at Dirk and actually pushing him off a ledge or into fire. That could be cathartic, now that I think about it.

There is no word on when Dragon's Lair will release or its cost as of yet, so stayed tuned!
